Now that the magazine has changed editors, I was hoping for a considerable improvement in the quality of stories, but alas, that hasn't happened yet. Although there are a number of good stories here, such as The Brain In The Jar, The Desert Lich, The Tortoise-Shell Cat, The Pelican, and The Door; there's also stuff like The Great Panjandrum, The Purple Light, and Thus Spake The Prophetess, which are as bad as many of the lesser stories published during the previous editor's run. There's also the usual amount of thoroughly forgettable stories, such as A Soulless Resurrection, but those ones, of course, scarcely need to be commented on. On a more positive note, the number of non-horror stories seems to have dropped (although I doubt this will last, sadly), and the filler articles between stories are gone entirely, and won't be missed.
